Latest companies house shows another equity raise representing the rights not taken up by the other shareholders. A further 5901 shares issued for £200. Meaning a further £1.18m in to the club on top of the previous £2.419m. Total raised £3.6m. A further indication I would think @Exile that Khaled is increasing his ownership of the club and Conway and Lee are on their way out. I did mean Neerav!!
I assume you mean Neerav Parekh? Khaled is just a paid employee and probably not for that much longer if rumours of a move to Sweden are true.
I would have thought with the sale of Kitching we wouldn't need any further cash injections for a while. Unless this is just being done to reduce Conway and Lees stake in the club? Worrying if we needed a 1m cash injection, 2 months after raising at least 5m in player sales, to keep the club running.
This is something I never understand about football. People always say that the money coming in from player sales is in installments but aren't signings and wages also basically in installments too?
Yes, definitely - there was a further 'Return of Allotment' notified on the Hong Kong Companies site on Friday. It isn't yet available to view (usually takes them about a week to load it up) but I'll keep an eye out and I'm sure it will confirm what you've set out.
Wages are not annual. Instalments can be at lengthy intervals. Also by issuing new shares I think can reduce or enlarge the % ownership of the club. Might be a tactical move.
Based on the holdings prior to this, if Neerav has indeed taken up these shares, he must now be very close to having sole overall control of the club.
To prevent it they'd have to pick up those shares themselves. And maybe they have, we don't seem to know yet who actually took them up. But if Neerav has put his money up and the others haven't...
